From 7349bd0176b8a8ced3a017bb5d0e9ebb30570722 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001
From: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>

Subject: New primitives: * `sub' to subtract two numbers. * `stringLength' to
 get the length of a string. * `substring' to get a substring of a string. 
 These should be enough   to allow most string operations to be expressed.
